Additional Info: As translated from CoroCoro, "As soon as it is born, it finds a flower and stays with it all its life. Because of this, they are also seen with differently-colored flowers."

X: It draws out and controls the hidden power of flowers. The flower Flabébé holds is most likely part of its body.Y: When it finds a flower it likes, it dwells on that flower its whole life long. It floats in the wind's embrace with an untroubled heart.

Re: #??? - Furabebe

Am I the only one who initially thought that the flower was the Pokémon before noticing Furabebe?

Nope, I thought that originally too until I sat and looked at it. It has to be said that this Pokémon is one which fits the idea of a Fairy Type the best, it's so tiny. The fact it's going to fight Dragons is still hugely amusing though.

You know, this Pokemon has grown on me considerably. I quite like that it's a little flower-sprite sort of creature. It'd be awesome if you could encounter Flabébé on different coloured flowers, like its 'Dex entry says, but I somehow doubt that'll happen xD

I don't know, I could definitely see them putting different colored flowers into the game. It would not be that difficult. Plus, we've had Pokemon like Spinda who have slight different looks to each of them. So I can see them giving us quite a few flower colors.

It would be nice if it had different colored flowers. They did do something like that in the past.
Shellos looked different depending where you found it.
Burmy changed its looks depending where it is until it evolved.

Also, I like how it is pure [glow=pink]FAIRY!!![/glow] It would also be nice if we found this little guy very early on in the game.

From a technical perspective, providing different coloured flowers would be fairly easy. At best you'd get a texture that can be "coloured" by the game itself based on IVs or whatever, at worst they'd provide several different flower textures for the game to choose from. Either way, with 3D models this wouldn't be difficult at all.

I really hope they do in that case. It'd just be a really nice touch, even though it wouldn't have much use outside of aesthetics

They did similar with Spinda's dot patterns so I don't see why they couldn't make different coloured flowers for Flabébé.

I'd be greatly amused if this thing evolved into some hideous monstrosity to offset how sickeningly cutesy it is in this form.

So far Flabébé is the only Fairy type I really like, but I like it a lot. I think it's definitely given me a renewed faith in Fairy types, I hope they make more like it. Honestly I don't mind if it doesn't even evolve, I like it enough as it is.

I don't know what "flower" would be in French, but the most hilarious part of this pokemon (given its description) is the fact that "bebe" means "baby" in French. It seems this pokemon might literally be named "flower baby".

I can't see it evolving, no. I don't really see it having decent stats either, it's just the..gimmick of the generation? Something like that. xD

It could always evolve in a way that involves the flower, like it combines with it or something and still keeps to the flower's colour. I kind of like it the way it is though so I'm in two minds as to whether I'd want it to evolve or not.

This months CoroCoro has confirmed that Flabébé does indeed have different coloured flowers depending on where they're found in Kalos. Quite happy to see the made the effort with this one. ^^

Hearing that news makes me appreciate the Pokemon much, much more. It hadn't really caught my attention up until this point but I really dig Pokemon that come in different forms or colours based on location/season/gender/etc. I don't see myself ever using it (unless by some chance that it does evolve) but hopefully it'll have decent stats for the folks who do want one.

Since apparently flower beds have random encounters in them now it wouldn't be too farfetched to assume that the flower beds is where you'll encounters these stupid things and that the color of the flower beds affects the color of the flower. But who knows, really? XD

I think this is another novelty Pokemon. The only reason I would use one is if I wanted a serious challenge, like the Luvdisc Challenge or the Charge Challenge. Also, I find it interesting that this is the lightest and smallest Pokemon yet to be revealed. This guy is super tiny!
